Day Ten of the tournament and
in In Group F MEXICO have won their second game of
the tournament as they win 2-1 against South Korea. After beating Champions
Germany in their first game, Mexico are now on 6 points and a total of 3 goals
and they are through to the next round. GERMANY lost their opening game against Mexico which
was a disaster for them. Their next game was against second place Sweden who
beat South Korea in their opening game. Germany needed to win this game or they
could be going home very early. After Germany dominating the first 30 minutes
of the first half, Sweden scored a goal from one of their few attacks in the
German’s half of the pitch in the 32nd minute by Toivonen and the
score remained 1-0 to Sweden at half time. In the second half after a few
changes in their team, Germany scored their first goal of the World Cup by Reus
on 48 minutes. Germany went down to ten men but they did win their game 2-1
with a very late goal in added time by Kroos. It is a relief to all of the 36
players that have Germany in their choice of teams, but it’s not over yet as
they must win against South Korea in their last game and Mexico to draw 0-0
with Sweden to go through to round two. Germany have a total of 2 goals now and
three points to move into second place with Sweden behind leaders Mexico.
In Group G we have been waiting for a high score since Russia’s
opening game. Well BELGIUM have equalised that
by winning 5-2 against Tunisia in their second game on day ten. Belgium went
3-1 up before half time. The other goals came in the second half with each
scoring late goals. Belgium are also on a goals total of 8 goals and top of the
group and through to the next round.
After ten days of play, our
teams have near all played their second game of the tournament, two of our
nations have picked up one blank score sheet. We stand at a total of 21 goals
for the second set of games and a total of 49 goals to date. Belgium now join Russia with a total of 8
goals each.
